Launched in 2021, Ermine Skate is North America’s first Nordic skate maker. Ermine’s signature A-series skates are designed to handle the toughest wild ice the state can throw at them, from dusty sloughs to bumpy Arctic lakes. Our L-series skate is designed for light weight and speed, and is ideal for fast laps on smooth, cold ice. Ermine skates are proudly manufactured in Alaska and showcase the hard work of a small, dedicated team of Alaskans.
